Welcome to the page dedicated to the grass roots development for the youth of the club. CEK will be holding 4 kumite (fighting) competitions through the course of each calendar year. The idea behind the competitions is to give some of the younger or less confident members of the club a chance to gain some experience of competition fighting without the pressure of fighting people from other clubs that they do not know. The competitions will be officiated by senior members of the club which also gives them experience of this side of the sport.

Each child that enters will be guaranteed a minimum of 3 fights, the first 2 of which will be warm up fights that do not count towards the end result however from fight 3 onwards this will be on a knock-out elimination basis just like a real competition utilising the rules of the sport in terms of the warning and points scoring system. Every child that enters will receive a participation medal however those that come 1st, 2nd and joint 3rd will receive gold, silver & bronze medals along with points also being awarded on the basis of 10 for gold, 8 for silver and 6 for bronze. At the end of the year whichever child has the most points over the 4 competitions within each group will become the overall year champion and will receive a trophy for them to keep.
